I have a good hair day. I credit this in part to using Monat Revive Shampoo and Conditioner.
I received compensation for this post including complimentary samples of Monat Revive Shampoo and Conditioner for Volume to review. I was intrigued by the claims Monat makes about their products.
My Experience Using Monat Volume Shampoo and Conditioner:
I recently received three different, high-quality shampoo and conditioner sets (I mention in case you noticed I have posted a lot of shampoo and conditioner reviews recently). Monat was actually the first I received, I took a little longer testing it because of the company claims that it can help prevent hair loss.
In the short-term, I really like this set as a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. In the time I used Monat, I colored my baby fine hair twice. The first time, I received a highlight kit for review and it didn’t go well. So I used my favorite all-over color to restore my hair to a similar shade as my natural color. Color processed hair is always a challenge for shampoos and conditioners. But coloring twice in a couple of weeks!
Despite this, my hair stayed soft and shiny and had good volume. This is only true on a day when I shampoo and condition. I went two days as an experiment and my hair was straw like and frizzy.
The shampoo and conditioner have a thinner texture compared to some, but it works well. The instructions for both involve massaging into the hair and scalp and leaving it on for a while before rinsing out. At first, I found the scent peculiar. I have smelled similar in a natural hair dye I tried once, but am not sure the source. It is mild and didn’t linger on my hair all day.
I am not qualified to speak to the hair loss claims. I do have baby fine hair that is limp and easily weighed down, but I have a lot of it. I have mild hypothyroidism and hair loss is a common side effect. I haven’t noticed any significant loss, but I have not recently. I have noticed soft, shiny hair with decent volume though. (And decent volume is a huge boon for me as it is my biggest hair problem!)
About Monat Volume Shampoo and Conditioner:
Monat states that their products contain naturally derived, sustainable ingredients. They claim the key to the hair loss prevention is “Capixyl™, powered with Red Clover Extract, a gentle emollient that reduces scalp inflammation, strengthens and thickens hair, and hydrates the scalp to stimulate natural, noticeable hair growth.” (Quote from Monet publicity materials).

Can anyone comment on having used Monat to help with an extremely dry scalp? My scalp is very dry and flaky; about 6 months ago it was even worse (red patches of dry/inflamed areas mostly along my hairline) but seems to be a bit better but still very flaky. We have a water softener and I believe maybe some of the salt from that comes through in our water, not sure if that’s the problem or not but seems like it could be contributing? I have fine, not very thick hair that doesn’t have much volume and I read a lot about this product helping that but I’d like to know about the scalp issue?
I haven’t personally experienced dryness from using Monat. I have with other products, though. My only connection to Monat is that I used the products mentioned and reviewed them. I am not a rep or anything.
You may be sensitive to something in the product. If that is the case, you might want to try something else. We all have our own sensitivities.
When my scalp gets dry, I find it helps to make sure the water in my shower is not too hot, that I am not using too much shampoo and I try a weekly moisturizing treatment (like just plain argan oil or coconut oil). I have fine hair, so I need to wash my hair every day, but this does sometimes dry out my semi-sensitive scalp. I just thought I would share a couple of things that work for me when my scalp is just dry from overwashing. If you have an allergy, these tips may not help much.
I haven’t tried this, but a friend told me putting a chlorine filter on her showerhead helped her.
Hi Sam, I am so sorry in the delayed response, I have been out of town and I guess this one passed me by! I am an Independent Market Partner with Monat and I will tell you that there have been remarkable results with dry scalp using our products! My personal experience has been with my step daughter. She had terrible buildup that she would have to use apple cider vinegar to try to relieve but she told me THIS IS THE 1st product that has helped with that. Also, her entire life she has had extremely dry skin including the scalp and that our signature Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive has really helped with that and the fact that Rejuveniqe oil is in all of our shampoos and conditioners you are always getting it on your scalp. The oil mimics the body’s natural oil and this is why it is so helpful Please contact me and I will be happy to discuss this over the phone with you and help you decide which products would be best for you. rhondajackson@mymonat.com 817-996-7121 for more information you can view my website at mymonat.com/rhondajackson

Try this…homemade shampoo recipe:
1/3 cup Castllle Soap
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
10-15 drops your choice of essential oils
I forgot to mention… Coconut Oil should help your dry hair and Baking Soda does not strip the natural oils from your hair.
Hello Rhonda, I was reading your reply to Kathy where you mention the Monat Black. My daughter is 23 and has very fine and thinning hair. She wants to try these products. Could she add some other product with the Monat Black like the replenish masque or the revitalize conditioner? Thank you for any suggestions.
Depending on her hair type I would recommend the revitalize conditioner or leave in with the Monat black 2&1. The masque is a very hydrating deep conditioner and makes an excellent weekly treatment or overnight treatment but as a daily conditioner may be too much and leave long hair feeling heavy
Hi Natasha, I am just now getting back to you because I have been in Maui on an incentive trip with this fantastic company!!
Yes, she can absolutely mix any of our products together to get the best results for her. You can contact me or have her contact me to discuss her options. I would be happy to help in any way that I can. My website is mymonat.com/rhondajackson 817-996-7121 (texting is allowed 🙂 )

I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS
i want to know if it regrows hair, i have thyroid problems. and i’m losing my hair and can’t afford much. really need help. thank you.
Hi Dorothy, I cannot comment whether it would help with Thyroid related hair loss. I would suggest talking to a doctor. I am mildly hypothyroid, but in my case it is well managed with a very small dose of medicine. I found this shampoo was a decent volumizing shampoo (I have fine hair). I wouldn’t say my results were miraculous. I am sorry if that sounds wishy-washy. It is a decent shampoo that my hair responded well to, but I didn’t notice anything extraordinary. My hair seemed a little fuller, but more like a volumizing shampoo. Sorry that I can’t give more specific information. I just used the last of my Monat shampoo and conditioner a few weeks ago.
Dorothy, first I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I would be happy to answer any questions that you have regarding Monat. There are actual clinical studies that were done for 2 years at Princeton University and I would be happy to email you the documentation. I will tell you that my sister is using the Men’s 2-in-1 shampoo + conditioner and the intense repair spray that has the most capixyl in it that you can get without a prescription and we added the Revitalize conditioner and she is in LOVE with her hair!! She is experiencing thickened health hair, her hair is actually growing like crazy (2 inches in 2 months) and she has seen some new hair growth after 8 weeks on the product. She has never been able to grow hair and she has now for the first time ever! She won’t re-color her hair because she is waiting to see what will actually happen just using this product and I have attached a picture for you to see. Please contact me directly if I can help answer any other questions for you 817-996-7121 rhondajackson@mymonat.com
Why is your Sister is using the Men’s product? Is there a better result using the men’s vs the woman’s?.
Hi Kathy, she is using the Monat Black (formerly Monat Men’s) because it has the most Capixyl that helps reduce scalp inflammation, strengthens and thickens hair while stimulating natural growth. They changed the name because women wanted to use it for thinning so as not just for men. All of our products have Capixyl in them but Monat Black has the most. I will be happy to answer any other question regarding the products any time. Please feel free to email me directly or call me for a quicker response. rhondajacksonatmymonat.com or 817-996-7121

I love to use the Rejuvenique oil as a pre-treatment before I shampoo. Makes it feel like a spa day every time.
I am a Monat consultant and hairdresser😃 These products are INCREDIBLE and do what they are supposed to. So happy to be bringing these products to my clients, family and friends💖
Hi! I was recommended to use this and I’m super excited to because my hair is color treated and very thick and naturally curly in a bad way so I have to blow dry it. My hesitance is I do not need any boost in hair growth. Last thing I want. Can you please tell me your opinion if I should spend the money it? Much appreciated. Xoxo
Kitty, did anyone get back to you about your question? I will be happy to explain to you what products you would need. You can contact me at rhondajackson@mymonat.com my website is answertoyourhair.com Please let me know if I can help!!
Monat will not grow hair where it is not supposed to grow. If your hair is already thick, or if you never had thick hair to begin with you will not magically have new hair! Monat stimulates hair growth within existing follicles that are damaged/dormant but does not have the ability to make new follicles or revive dead follicles if that makes sense.
Monat will help maintain existing growth, maintain scalp and hair health and increase shine and manageability regardless!! 💗
